The AGM of the Buckingham Branch of East Worthing & Shoreham Conservative Association was held last Saturday and heard a report on the activities of County Councillor Debbie Kennard elected to represent the town last May and who has so far managed a 100% attendance record at all the committees she sits on at County Hall. Despite a wide range of responsibilities including Deputy Cabinet Member for Children’s Services and sitting on the Health Committee and a number of outside organisations Debbie has not missed a meeting.
At the AGM, Branch Chairman Emma Evans was also readopted as the Conservative candidate to fight this year’s Adur District Council elections in May.
Tim Loughton attended the meeting and praised the hard working pair of councillors:
‘We are very lucky in Shoreham to have two such hardworking and dedicated councillors as Emma and Debbie. They are both heavily involved with local case work all year round and fighting for local interests such as the new Shoreham Bridge and dealing with illegal encampments, yet also manage such an impressive attendance record whether it be at Chichester or Adur’s Civic Centre. The other parties should take a leaf out of their book and I hope that in May local residents will appreciate how well represented they are and it is not by accident that the Conservative controlled Adur Council has done such a good job of producing a council tax freeze for a fourth successive year whilst maintaining the high quality of our local services.’
